Directory Indexing

NCSA httpd allows you to create HTML catalogs of your directories, in
order to tell users what's in them.

For instance, on hoohoo, I have a directory containing some neat
pictures, and I've written a small index for it. Have a look.

I have another directory whose contents are constantly changing. I
don't really want to write and maintain an index. In this case, httpd
will generate an index of the directory for
me when a user requests the directory. I can configure httpd to ignore
certain files, to give a certain icon for certain files, to place a
short description after file names, and include either an HTML or
plaintext README which tells people what is in the directory.
